An article on the same topic from CBC, not behind the Saltwire paywall.
The province has definitely been taking advantage of Health PEI and it’s employees over the last couple of years, so I’m glad to see them standing up for themselves. We have two separate hospitals who frequently have to close their emergency rooms at least one day a week due to lack of staff.
Both are relatively small hospitals, but service the more remote areas of the island. As we only have 4 total hospitals, it is a minimum 40-minute drive from either of these hospitals to the next closest alternative
Edit: Made an incorrect assertion that I adjusted after realizing and added two other CBC articles relevant to emergency room closures.
